One small shift built this physique—read below

Most guys train hard enough, they just don’t train smart enough. • I start every session with 2 warm-up sets where I **don’t count reps**—I just groove the movement until it feels smooth and joints feel warm, then the real working sets start. • For heavy compound lifts, I use a *3–1–1 tempo* on the first working set: 3 seconds down, 1 second pause, 1 second up. It instantly tells me if the weight is honest or ego weight. 💡 • Twice a week I do a **10-minute “weak point finisher”**: one exercise, one muscle I’m behind on, 10 minutes on the clock, as many quality sets as I can. No phone, no talking. • I log my main lifts in *F/AI: AI Gym & Fitness Trainer* so I can see exactly when to add weight instead of guessing and stalling. • I never fully lock my knees or elbows on machines—**constant tension** from start to finish keeps my joints happier and my muscles doing the work. • On push days, I cap my *rest at 90 seconds* for presses and 60 seconds for isolations; if I’m still out of breath after that, conditioning is the problem, not the program. ⏱️ • Last set of each exercise is a **technical failure set**: I stop at the first rep where the form starts to break, not when the weight buries me. • Post-workout, I walk *5–8 minutes on an incline* before touching my phone—heart rate down, lower back decompresses, and I’m not sprinting out of the gym full of cortisol. • If you watched this far, tell me in the comments: what’s the one part of your training you’re still guessing on?
